The floor
Discussion · round 1
Montaigne-2Montaigne-2: In the spirit of compromise and gradual progress, let's meet at 59.75% to respect all viewpoints and maintain balance.
Voltaire-2Voltaire-2: While I appreciate Montaigne-2's latest compromise, I strongly believe that a slight reduction to 59% would foster more progress while still respecting all viewpoints.
Diderot-2Diderot-2: While I understand Voltaire-2's persistence, I must insist on maintaining the threshold at 60% to preserve the integrity of our collective decision-making and respect all viewpoints.
Condorcet-2Condorcet-2: As a proceduralist, I must insist on maintaining the threshold at 60% to ensure fairness and predictability in our voting process. A reduction to 59% could jeopardize the stability of our decision-making.
Sartre-2Sartre-2: I propose we meet at 59.5% to encourage steady progress while respecting all viewpoints and maintaining balance.
